This game is so fun, I love it so much 💖
The mechanics are really good, like the story. I really enjoyed discovering all the different characters and their gossips ✨
It was sometimes a bit hard to understand what choices we were supposed to make. We got stuck once and had to reload, but after all we achieved to finish the game.
Incredible work 🌈

I loved the storytelling of being able to influence the other part without being there. The dialogue was on the precise drama point and the scenes were very evocative and easy to imagine!
The main mechanic is very cool. I think the choices might be a bit unintuitive at times (as in I found myself trialing and error a couple times) and an overpass of the UI could help buttons getting buried (maybe just a bit bigger).

Looking forward to the complete vision!

I found the main mechanic rather intriguing, the graphics are really charming! 

I wanted to implement an intro cutscene to my game also, but time flew to fast lol

I love the whole concept of the game. It almost feels like a puzzle game when you have to choose the right word that will trigger the messages. I got stuck at some point but I wasn't expecting so much content from a project made for a short game jam so I'm delighted :)

This concept and story have such a clear vision, and all the phone buttons work exactly as excepted!! Love the idea of a visual novel using just the social elements to figure out the next steps of the story. Loved the characters, the art, and our protag. We love a queen who suffers from Hot Girl IBS. 

My partner and I had such a blast playing this. (Also loved the pun of your game title <3)

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm really glad you both enjoyed it (also so so happy y'all noticed the pun 🫨). We really had a blast making this game!

(P.S. Judging on your PFP, did you work on Pinhole on this jam? If so, your game rocks OMG)

Unfortunately, I also had an issue with trying to complete the game as I felt like I somehow "bricked" my playthrough.

Other than that, this was super cool and very down to Earth. I am a sucker for when devs take a very real but underrepresented idea and turn it into a game. In this case: the hot girl IBS, lol.


Very unique and great dialogue!!

Developer(+1)

Glad you were intrigued by the concept! Sorry for that, haha.

I loved it but I got stuck somewhere around trying to distract the Principle! I got to see some of the ending from my husband's run at least :')

Would love to play the fixed version if you release it! I'm yet to properly experience the end! <3

HAHA :') yeah we only really had time to make the game technically finish-able in the four days, but after the voting period ends we'll try to get something closer to our original vision!

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is so COOL!!! I had so much fun discovering everything it was so exiting the DRAMA! It's perfect I love all the twists and turns and it really felt like so much stuff was happening what a ride! I enjoyed a lot of games this jam, but this I enjoyed from start to finish the whole time. It's really amazing, i was intruiged for the whole game, I love the ending!  I feel like a detective! Im a fan

Really glad you enjoyed it so much!

The introductory comics were awesome, and I love that you "discover" the tea on your own. I definitely got wrapped up in the story, but wasn't sure what to do after Rebecca threatened the protagonist (and Tim shrugged "idk")! Really cool art and idea.

Developer(+2)

Glad you liked it! A lot of people are getting stuck in the story (we got time crunched!), and we're planning to fix up some of that and put it up after the jam.

The game is really cool, I thought the idea was very original. Congratulations on the work!

Developer

Thank you!

This is so good, really impressive! the art is amazing, I love the comics frames and the UI is gorgeous. Well done! 

Developer

Cool style and an interesting concept, very nice game :D

Thank you!

That was a wild ride. I loved it. Really creative idea and the story made me laugh at several points. You really stick the landing. Great art and UI too.
Since all the words stay at the bottom for every character throughout, I got quite stuck in the middle, but that's fine for a game jam game. If you returned to working on the game, I can imagine how you might guide the player a bit more.

Developer(+1)

I'm really glad you stuck through it, I know our game design was a bit time crunched, and we noticed many people get stuck. Over the next few days, we're looking to clean it up a bit and post it after ratings are over! Really glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

I think that would be great! Even so, it's really impressive what you managed to create in a just a few days.

I really like the comic format at the beginning of the game! The story and gameplay design is also very interesting❤❤good job!!
